Question

Write the equation of the line through (-1, 0) and (1, 2) in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

Is it multiple choice?

Answer 2

A) y = x + 1
B) y = m(x - x1) + 1
C) y - y1= m(x - x1) + 1
D) y - y1= (x - x1) + 1

Answer 3

Alright, do you know how to get the slope?

Answer 4

y= mx + b?

Answer 5

Nah like the slope of the line. So the equation y = mx +b will be your equation for a specific line

Answer 6

but the slope is how steep that line is, its a part of the equation but not the whole equation

Answer 7

well.. im kinda lost

Answer 8

Haha, that's okay. Do you want me to kind of break down the subject a little? Maybe that'll help you understand the rest of the equations you have to do a little better

Answer 9

that could help

Answer 10

Alright, so what we're finding is the equation of a line

Answer 11

SO lets say thats those two points, you can base a line off them, and that line would constitute an equation to go with it
